AI Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man undergoing surveillance for an abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease was evaluated through a CT Angiogram of the aorta.
- The scan revealed a 6.2cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with significant thrombus, occluded arteries, and calcified stenosis in key blood vessels.
- A Tc-99m DMSA renal scan was performed to assess the extent of kidney infarction and to evaluate the functional differences between the kidneys.
Article Abstract
A 59-year-old man who under surveillance for abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease, was investigated with a CT Angiogram aorta. The CT scan showed an abdominal aortic aneurysm reaching 6.2cm with significant thrombus burden, occluded coeliac artery, occluded left iliac artery, calcified stenosis of the right renal artery and features of chronic renal infarct in the right upper pole. Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) renal scan was done to document the extent of the infarction and for differential function of the kidneys.
